because life is short ...and God gave us steak

Olde English Cheese Spread

Growing up, we had a sailboat in Gloucester, MA. There was a restaurant not too far from there in Ipswich called the Hearthside, and, in pure New England fashion, they served crackers and English cheese similar to this recipe as soon as you sat down. This recipe is all home to me with memories of my grandparents and going to that restaurant after a nice long sail.
